Are you able to take a picture immediately after another one, or is there a lag time in between?

THere is a pause in between. But it takes great pictures for a cheap camera.

there is a lag time of about three seconds, great camera though. My favorite feature is that you can turn the flash ON, even on bright sunny days.

It is very quick to respond and does not have much lag time. It focuses very quickly

There is lag time..also after taking the picture you should not move the camera quickly..image will blur..

There is a little lag but I have not tried the continuous setting. I do like this camera.

Just about every digital camera has a delay! However, if you use the fastest media card that you can find, I have found that you can minimize the delay time when taking rapid-fire sequences.

You might be trying to use the flash too fast after using it the first or second time. It takes time for the battery powere to build up for each flash. There is definitely a lag time in between using the flash. Don't try to use the flash again with out waiting 15 seconds or so. When you push the shutter button halfway to let the camera focus before taking the picture you should be able to tell if enough battery power has built up for the next flash. I doubt your camera is defective. IOt is just matter of understandimg how it works & using it correctly.

I'd say excellent. I often shoot pictures one after another, and have never noticed any lag. For example, I was photographing an eagle in a tree a distance away with the zoom. It is very difficult to hold still with full zoom on a small moving target so I take multiple pictures successively in the hope of getting an excellent shot...and by taking many pictures I get some keepers. If I am travelling I charge the camera overnight and always take half a dozen shots of something to assure I have the best picture.

Most digital cameras have a lag time when taking pictures. The lag time is needed to meter (determine settings) when the camera is set to auto. To take a good picture with this camera, hold the shutter button (picture button) down half way and let the camera meter the image, then after the camera has figured the best settings for the picture, press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture. I hope this helps.

Is it possible? Yes, but it depends on a few factors, such as whether the flash is on or off, if you are using manual or auto focus, if you need to re-focus between shots, etc. The Nikon D3100 has a continuous shooting mode; in that mode, if you do not have to wait for the flash to reload and you want to keep the same focus, then yes, it will take pictures for as long as you wish to hold the shutter, with almost no lag between photos. However, if you are using the built-in flash, you may have to wait a couple of seconds for the flash to reload between shots (most cameras do this), or if you need to refocus between shots it may also take time to do that. But it is much faster than most point-and-shoot cameras. I leave my D3100 in continuous mode most of the time; when shooting fast moving subjects, I have a better chance of getting the best shot when it takes several right in a row. One final note: I've found this camera has the best shot-to-shot times when using an SD card with fast write times. Most of the cheap class 2 and class 4 cards are not able to write the pictures to the card fast enough to keep up with the continuous shooting mode and result in a "processing" screen that takes a few seconds to clear. When I put a class 10 card in the camera, that issue disappeared and I now happily take large numbers of photos in short amounts of time.

Assuming you mean to set a timer to delay taking the picture, the answer is no. AT least I have not founfd a way to do this.

This camera has functionality to take some pictures sequentially, but if you want to push the button manually you will have to wait a little, like 1 or 2 second between.

You can shoot shots pretty quick, but then the camera takes a few seconds to catch up. I usually use a burst of several and it recovers by the time I am ready to shoot again.

Shutter lag when prefocused = less than 1/10 of a secondShutter lag with autofocus = about 0.6 secondsShot to shot delay without flash = 4.7 seconds between frames with minimum review time On, 4.2 seconds with review OffShot to shot delay with flash = 7.8 seconds between frames with minimum review time On, 7.3 seconds with review Off

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I have found that when I want to take pictures of kids or moving sports objects - I select a mode like the sports mode and then push the shutter down half way to allow the camera time to focus on the subjects. Then I continue to follow the subject while holding the shutter half way down and when the shot I want appears I just complete pushing down the shutter and the picture will be taken instantly. If I don't push the shutter down half way first, I end up with the same 1 second delay between the picture I wanted to capture and what actually shows up on the viewfinder. Hope that helps. Mike

You can enable continuous shooting in auto mode, and it will take pictures very quickly, so there will not be a delay.

If the camera and computer are both on it will send each photo as you take them. If not it will batch them when the sync up. Works pretty quick on single shots batches can take a couple of min.

No wait time between shots. battery life is exceptional. Picture quality is good...whenever you you zoom past the optical limit and start using the digital zoom it degrades the image quality and that is true with any camera. You will like like the camera, very easy to use.

there is a lag. I really notice it when trying to good pics of little kids because they move so quickly..that delay often makes me miss the smile!....also not a long battery life....but good pictures

Sorry, I haven't tried that yet. On my old camera, if I remember correctly, it was instantly.
